I’m not thrilled with Harris, but if it’s going to be between her and that orange shitstain, it’s an easy choice.

To your second point, it’s because most of them hate the US and/or capitalism, and want to see it implode.

Wasn’t that before they bought out Sprint, though?

I’m not who you originally asked, but one of the things other than torrenting that I use a VPN for is bypassing arbitrary geo-restrictions on websites. A lot of (mostly US) websites don’t allow you to access them if you aren’t in the country, or in some cases, if you don’t live in the right state.

I beat both back in the day. I definitely feel like battletoads was the more difficult of the two.

Relevant XKCD.

If you’re not a contractor, power tools. Buy the harbor freight version first when you need it. If you end up using it enough to break it, then you get a quality one.

Aren’t prices supposed to trend downward as technology ages?

Well, using a mobile hotspot will tie the IP address to your phone, so probably not a great idea if your name is listed on the account. Honestly, just use a quality VPN and you’ll be fine with your home connection.

I’ve only played 1-4, but 3 was definitely the best of those.

Agreed. However, I believe it was included in a Humble Choice bundle at one point, so it may not be quite as obscure as what the OP is looking for.

Serious question, but is a cement mixer actually full of concrete and not cement then?

Think about why a game she refused to do wouldn’t appear on her acting credits.

I don’t know anyone under 65 that uses FB unless it’s their only contact method for a friend / family member.
